Argentinian Composer Alberto Ginastera was born 100 years ago this Monday. In the 1950s and 60s his music received acclaim in the USA and in South America, but it has had less recognition in Europe (although his opera Bomarzo was performed at ENO in the 1970s). Tom discovers more about his life and music with the pianist Clara Rodriguez, the conductor Juanjo Mena who is an advocate for Ginastera鈥檚 music, and the American academic Deborah Schwartz-Kates who is determined to put Ginastera back on the musical map.

Broadcast in April 2016.
